Man. lol Ok. So this is a basic average Mexican place in Laguna beach. Below average service. Entitled Gen Z workers who expect $10 tip for just getting your order. Food was bland. Service forgettable. Outside was gross ... dog feces on the lawn not picked up All in all .... A totally forgettable food experience. A memorable terrible one ( one person cost $42!! For garbage food ) Skip this place. For sure. read more

Grabbed a meal for the beach. Enchilada plate with verde sauce & avocado lime chile verde salad (one of the Friday specials). Each day there are meals made just for that day of the week. Enchiladas tasted great & the verde sauce was delicious. The chile verde pork was just on the edge of being too spicy for our taste but the flavor was excellent. My only complaint is I prefer refried or pinto beans rather than black beans. This is really a take out place because it's a house and there are only two small tables on the side that seat maybe three adults each. If in the area again I would definitely eat here a second time. read more

We have eaten here many times in the past and it was always excellent. Read recent one star reviews and was little discouraged from coming this visit. We felt we needed to find out for ourselves given our past experiences. Our food was nothing short of great. I had the salmon burrito and it was delicious as always. Down with the trolls looking to justify their miserable existence. This place is a hidden gem!! read more

It used to be a great -- and one of my favorite -- destinations for Mexican food. Unfortunately, based on my experiences this year, it has become a total disappointment. My last order, beef enchiladas, was simply inedible. The meat tasted so bad that I could not even finish the first bite. The overall quality, and sometimes the customer service, have seriously declined. read more

So good. And like okay priced too. There's a student meal combo which is great, great bean rice burrito and the burrito bowl too so good. A little too much bell peppers in the bowl for my taste tho. Service: fire. Everyone is so nice read more

Excellent food, great prices and cozy atmosphere. The service is outstanding and quick. Cami is the best!

Returned to the Mermaid. La Sirena Grill that is... Had a nearly $14 pork burrito (no rice) and it was a monster! Pinto beans, cabbage/lettuce filling + guacamole. Very tasty. Nice wee bag of fresh corn chips plus salsas. Nice curbside service and pretty quick. I'll give this a four. Would do 4.5 if I could. Close to a five but just lacks something to make it exceptional. Upgrade the pork and add a zinger or two and this spot would be top shelf! Definitely worth a try! read more

Great food, great quality, and excellent service. I visit them every time I go to Crescent Bay.

The best!! Hands down the best!! I pick up a Taco Salad with all the goodies Beau is at the helm and the crew are very great at their jobs! I don't know a better place to go to They check all the boxes for me I'm hungry just writing this read more

We drove all the way from San Gabriel Valley to enjoy some burritos from La Sirena. They used to have a location in Irvine, but after it closed, we searched for another and found this spot! Upon arrival, we quickly noticed the typical Laguna Beach traffic, especially on a beautiful Saturday with clear blue skies. Despite the congestion, we were determined to reach our destination. After navigating the long traffic, we finally parked. I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito without rice, opting for just rice and beans, just the way I like it. (Fun fact: I prefer my burritos with all the beans' juice creating a creamy texture. If you prefer a drier burrito, you might want to get rice on the side.) My husband ordered a Carne Asada with Shrimp Burrito without rice, and it was equally delicious. The chips and salsa were just as delightful. The ambiance of this establishment is fantastic, offering open-air seating for those who want to enjoy the ocean breeze or indoor seating for those who prefer to avoid it. This location is just as good as the Irvine spot was. I would probably visit again on a weekday when it's less busy, but if you live nearby, why not give it a try? read more

Ordered two tacos earlier today to go, one word "insulting" will preface by saying I am female not with a huge appetite and the portion and price of a calamari and salmon tacos was pathetic $18 after tip and am sorry I even left a tip with the pathetic amount of filling in each taco! Calamari had about a teaspoon of guac with a about two teaspoons of fish in each one and measly amount of cabbage!! Why take advantage of your customers? First time last time. read more

La Sirena is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Laguna Beach. This one is located right across the highway from the Montage. I often get lunch, usually a blackened fish soft taco that comes with a handful of chips. There are two shaded patios with tables to dine outside or there are a number of seats inside. There is also a big bar where you can get craft beers on tap or other alcoholic drinks. Sometimes I take my order to go and walk across the highway to the park surrounding the Montage. There are tables there to enjoy your lunch and you will have an amazing view of the ocean. You can't go wrong with just about anything on their menu! Excellent food at a decent price. read more

Best Mexican food in Laguna Beach! The ingredients are so fresh and the portions are plentiful, especially the salads! We had the avo Lime Salad (carne asada), the blackened wild caught salmon salad, and two carne asada taco, and this was more food we could eat! We have never had so much avocados in our salads! The salad dressings and salsa are made fresh too! Loved that we could eat clean food, especially with the organic mixed greens, grass fed beef and wild caught salmon! The service was very fast and staff were very nice too. There are only two tables on-site and we were lucky to have a table available when our food was ready. The ambiance is very cozy, tucked away in the back streets, very local feel, as we could watch many locals, including students, stop by to orde and leave. We went there for lunch and ordered online for dinner yesterday (to grab and go). We are planning to eat there again today for lunch (grab and go eat at the beach). This place is a gem, not to mention that the prices are very reasonable. Finding quality fresh food/salads under $20 is rare these day. read more

Great place to grab a bite. Wonderful customer service. Pretty small place but they do have few tables outside. They have about 2 tables few steps up, next to their restaurant. They're familiar with allergies as I'm allergic to gluten and dairy, Tried their fish of the day which was mahi mahi taco, it's so good. Tried their salmon as well - they have a big piece of salmon. The size of their tacos are pretty good size and not tiny, Tortilla soup advised as gluten free as well, and omitted the cheese - very tasty and not spicy, just enough saltiness, not too salty. If you sat few steps up on the table facing the street, you'll get lovely Mountain View and just sense of calm. This place is away from the crowdedness of the Main Street. read more

Both locations have amazing food, the one on mermaid is better suited for takeout. Great tacos, and quick friendly service.

Super fast Service. The portions are large. The food tastes great. They had a few booths and some seating outside but most of the seating were single bar chairs or small tables. Great beer menu (margaritas as well). I took family for lunch. Probably has a different vibe later in the day. Perfect spot for drinking with friends... lots of room to mingle and just chill. Order at the register and food delivered to the table. Salsa bar off to the side. read more

The burrito bowl is the best! Blackened Mahi Mahi, perfectly cooked black beans, fresh crunchy cabbage and the freshest pico and guac! Yum!

Vege breakfast burrito was delish! Spicy salsa was also so so so good. I brought the chicken avocado lime salad back for my husband and he was so satisfied as well. The employee who helped me out was also so warm and friendly. If I lived in Laguna then this place would definitely be a staple. read more

I was in the area and front desk person at the Library recommended this place. Being vegetarian I order enchiladas, and it was one of the best. Really liked the freshness of the food and for the first time I tried escabeche ( Mexican pickled vegetables) on the side it was flavorful. Absolutely coming back again with the family. There are 2 small tables on the one side of the restaurant , i don't know if they have more seating, regardless food is amazing. read more

This was one of my favorite bites during my trip to Laguna Beach. It's a bit separate from the busier streets, so it was nice to have a relatively quiet spot to enjoy a good dinner. Note, this place is fairly casual--no indoor seating and just a few cafeteria style outdoor tables. I wouldn't come here expecting a fancy, long dinner, and if anything, that's what makes it great compared to the majority of the restaurants in Laguna Beach. The asada burrito I had was great, and the salsas were flavorful. Plus the staff were very kind too. I look forward to coming back to La Sirena Grill in the future! read more

What happened to this place. Used to be amazing. Fresh, tasty and flavorful. You order food and it comes out lightening quick. If I wanted fast food I would go to a fast food joint. What's the likelihood they cooked it fresh, Not. Can you at least bring out hot food. Barely warm, dry and no flavor. Sorry but I am not coming. read more

Great time and costumer service was on point!! Never tried this place before but it was well worth it!

Good local spot to get some quick restaurant style healthier food and eat outside of tables available or get it to go. Parking is tough! Guacamole is good, fresh mix of chunky avocados and mashed guacamole! Roasted salsa was good and a tiny bit spicy, the green salsa was bitter and spicier. Blackened salmon salad was delicious! The carne asada salad was good with the fried onions but less healthy! Good for quick food while strolling thru Laguna Beach shopping etc. read more

Absolute gem know for their surf and turf Baja Mexican food. The store front is unassuming and quaint. Had a shrimp burrito and it was more than enough for one person. The Yea Haw sandwich was amazing and a local favorite. The service was quick and so nice. Be aware there are only a couple of tables so prepare to take away and dine at the beach. The p10/10 read more

Solid food but I wouldn't say I was blown away. Parking is difficult to find on the street (esp on weekends). The people are very kind and patient. There's only 2 tables so plan on to-go read more

Always the best food served fresh and amazing beer list!! It will not disappoint!! And also thanks to having a great GM in Miguel makes the experience even better!

Absolutely Love Bo and this gem of a Mexican restaurant. Been going here for over a decade. Best blackened salmon tacos in Orange County by far! And my wife loves the white fish. read more

Food there is good as always, but not so good to make up for the passive-aggressive service. I have no idea what the issue is with the buy that works here, but we are done with this location. We came to this location of La Sirena Grill every couple of weeks for the last six months. This week July 3-10 we were here twice. Both times Mr Beard-face had his panties in a bunch. He apparently has an issue with treating women nicely. He hasn't treated me rudely directly, but my wife is another story. Both times we were at the restaurant this week, I was around the corner and in earshot of this guy. I suggest he find a new career. We order takeout and add always include a tip. Even after he was a complete jerk the first visit during the week, we still included gratuity on our takeout order for our second visit. Hey, I get people have bad days and always give the benefit of the doubt on the first one. But a second time in a week, we will take our money somewhere else. I don't need to give gratuity is someone who isn't gracious. The first experience this week was getting chewed out because we sat in the seating area after getting our call in order. Apparently it's not open seating any longer, and you can't order ahead and get a table when you get there. We have always done this, but now it's not allowed all of a sudden. No worries, after getting yelled at by Mr Beard-face we left. It was clear he was trying to appease a group of older tourists who made a stink that there were no tables available at this takeout restaurant. Why not do a show for the people that will never come back and irritate the regulars? Sounds like a great strategy plan for return business. The second experience was takeout that we were just picking up and leaving with. This time it was the question of do you want sauces? Yes, please these types... A return with the salas and being handed them, and then being placed in the bag. Then the statement, "I have to charge you for those as it's expensive". Okay... nothing is said while going back inside to get them, nothing is said as they are being handed over... but the statement is made after they are given over and placed in the bag. Once again it's never been an issue before to get a single 2oz green sauce, but on this day when there are a dozen people standing around to order, it's an issue. How about this: 1) take the 55 cents out of the tip we left for the takeout order. Or 2) say it's an extra charge BEFORE you go and get it and hand it over. Let me do some math for your manager... we came an average of 2x month and spend ~$22 for the two of us each time. 24 times X $22 = $528 year. (That is without us bringing our friends to the restaurant which we have done several times.) Take the $528 and take 10% for the gratuity we give on takeout orders ~$53 a year. 528 + 53 = $581. Not a tremendous amount of money, but compare it to 0 visits a year X $0 going forward. We are absolutely thrilled to take our ~$600 to other places without passive-aggressive service. read more

This place is not a sit down restaurant but we didn't mind since we just wanted some food to go. You don't go inside at all right now. Someone takes your order outside and you get your food outside. By the way parking can be a bit tricky. It's all street metered parking. We ordered Carne asada burrito with pinto beans without rice. The food was ready fast and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The price is decent. Will definitely be stopping by more often on our way to the beach. read more

La Sirena Grill - Carne asada burrito with pinto beans without rice - Mexican Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

3.5 to 4 stars Laguna Beach, CA Salmon burrito was hot and fresh. Carne Asada taco and California burrito had meat that was not hot, tortilla on burrito not heated well, disappointing compared to last visit. Conclusion: still hit or miss. Next time will ask for steak to be fired hot off of the grill, ours tasted like it had been sitting. Tuesday night chef may be different than Friday/Saturday? read more

Love the chicken machaca burrito they serve for breakfast at this location. Super easy to order online through the toast app and it's ready for pick up in 15 minutes. Comes with a small bag of delicious, fresh, salty tortilla chips too. The green sauce is awesome. This downtown location has a couple of small tables on their mini side patio. Most people order to go. Super friendly staff. read more

Tacos and Nachos were delicious! Parking is tight around this location and very limited seating. However, food was fast and really tasty. The meat was fantastic we had the carne, Barria, and chicken and all of them were delicious! If I lived in Laguna I would definitely come back and try other items! read more

Best hole in the wall burritos. With cabbage instead of beans as standard. I prefer chicken over beef.

Ordered a breakfast burrito here. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. It had no flavor and I kid you not it was like 75% potatoes. For these reasons, I am out. read more
